Adopted Sturgeon - Pokey Olie

Adopted by Ernest, Vancouver BC

This medium sized fish was adopted by Ernest Yee, in honour of his friend Oliver Lum. A champion for sturgeon and a steward for making a difference, Ernest's adoption is helping us to track the unique life experience of this Fraser River white sturgeon.

A sturgeon this size is most likely approaching reproductive maturity and therefore requires our best efforts to ensuring its survival and the best possible conditions for its eventual spawning activity. Protecting habitat, protecting critical food supply and keeping the community educated on how to help eliminate the impact of industry on this incredible species are our priority.

Thanks to Ernest's contribution to our work, we can continue to make a difference.
